THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: While the state electricity board has gone for an average power tariff increase of 6.8 per cent and the domestic consumers will have to bear 11.4 per cent hike, the moot question being asked is why the board is not aggressively pursuing the huge dues to be paid to the board.
According to the compiled data, as on March 31 this year, KSEB has to receive dues to the tune of Rs 1,388.20 crore, of which the collective dues from various government departments are Rs 95.71 crore and from local self-government bodies Rs 4.20 crore.
